THE WIDESPREAD PROGRAM OF DONATIONS OF STEINBERG'S ART TO MUSEUMS BY THE SAUL STEINBERG FOUNDATION HAS CONTINUED AGGRESSIVELY. AMID THE MULTIPLE US MUSEUM GIFTS, A SPECIAL INITIATIVE OF THE FOUNDATION'S ART DONATION PROGRAM WAS DIRECTED TO MILAN, ITALY, THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT CITY IN STEINBERG'S LIFE AFTER NEW YORK CITY (WHICH HAS SEVEN MUSEUMS AND A LIBRARY OWNING SIGNIFICANT HOLDINGS OF HIS ART). IN MILAN, DUE TO THE TWO STEINBERG RETROSPECTIVE SHOWS AND RELATED PUBLICATIONS THAT WERE PRODUCED, THE FOUNDATION INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF ART GIVEN TO MILAN'S TRIENNIAL MUSEUM AND TO THE CITY'S VENERABLE BRERA PICTURE GALLERY'S BRAIDENSE LIBRARY. AS A RESULT THERE WILL BE OVER TWO HUNDRED STEINBERG'S ARTWORKS AND STUDY COLLECTION RESOURCES HELD BY THESE TWO KEY MILAN ART MUSEUMS.
